DNA barcoding exposes a case of mistaken identity in the fern horticultural trade.

Pryer, Kathleen M; Schuettpelz, Eric; Huiet, Layne; Grusz, Amanda L; Rothfels, Carl J; Avent, Tony; Schwartz, David; ... (8 authors) (Molecular ecology resources, 2010-11)

Using cheilanthoid ferns, we provide an example of how DNA barcoding approaches can be useful to the horticultural community for keeping plants in the trade accurately identified. We use plastid rbcL, atpA, and trnG-R sequence ...
Toward a monophyletic Notholaena (Pteridaceae): Resolving patterns of evolutionary convergence in xeric-adapted ferns

Rothfels, CJ; Windham, MD; Grusz, AL; Gastony, GJ; Pryer, KM (Taxon, 2008-01-01)

Cheilanthoid ferns (Pteridaceae) are a diverse and ecologically important clade, unusual among ferns for their ability to colonize and diversify within xeric habitats. These extreme habitats are thought to drive the extensive ...
